Set: Zac Trembath-pitham

Starts in the first clearing around the corner from the main wall. Follow the right-hand side of the pillar on the left, on occasionally suspect holds, until you reach a ledge at the base of a clean slab. Techy moves up this, including a big step right, before choose-your-own-adventure (either straight up or back left) for the last two bolts to DBB. More like 45 m if you start from the bottom proper.

An excellent outing. The last pitch is the stand out pitch. Start in the next clearing ~20 metres up the hill from LGTL. Two anchors at top of P1 - one straight up and another 3m lower to the right. If climbing P2 belaying from top-most is preferable.

Start at the next clearing ~20 m uphill from WWALTYNS beneath an obvious bucket jug. This route is the rightmost of a cluster of lines in quick succession.

  1. 35m (20) Tricky start to first FH, then it's fairly straightforward, until you get to the third FH then it gets a bit cruxy until you're well and truly past the fourth FH, then continue up on a nice pocketed slab passing more FH's to a DBB.

  2. 35m (14) Up passing two FH then navigate your way through the grassy scrub to third FH then continue up easy slab passing more FH's to DBB.

  1. 25m (14) Follow the line of hangers, really enjoyable climbing on big jugs!

  2. 25m (15) Relaxed climbing along a scooped and pocketed slab. FH's lead the way.

  1. 25m (14) The first climb bolted on the wall. Easy climbing. DDB will be found just before the wall starts to steepen again.

  2. 25m (15) This pitch was bolted on lead, so may have some run outs in sections. FH's lead the way. It's possible to rap off this climb in one rappel with a 60m rope if you head to left of the first belay towards the scrub. From there it's easy access to Greener pastures

A few years ago there was basically Frog Buttress and Coolum. Since then there has been more development than Barangaroo and South East Queensland should be on any climbers radar no matter what your style. Except ice climbing, definitely no ice climbing. But over 1250 routes with hard sport, multipitches and quality trad to make a great trip.
